This book considers the theory and application of ethics for a
multifaith society. Much ethics taught in the UK has been dominated
by Christian ethics, their relation to secularism and by the
Enlightenment's reaction against theology as a basis for ethical
thought. In contrast to these perspectives this book brings secular
and theological ethics into dialogue, considering the degree to
which secular ethics has common roots with theological perspectives
from various traditions. The book assesses the application of
ethical and theological principles in today's multifaith society.
Aiming to enhance ethical understanding and awareness across
divergent worldviews, identifying at what points divergence does
occur, the author examines topics such as reason and ethics in
theology, natural law, utilitarianism and deontology and
differences of approach to interpreting religious scriptures. The
focus on ethical methods is illustrated through topical concerns in
religion and ethics, for example sexuality, marriage and education
and religion in relation to global ethics and human rights.
